RE: Windows Preview thumbnails are gone.

Paul,

I would have to say an enormous thank you. You have NO IDEA how crazy this
drove me and a customer service rep. for two hours trying to "find" my
thumbnails. The area in the taskbar to select this option was greyed out, so
I tried using the Windows Aero and it fixed it.

At 10:53 at night, I stayed up just to say, "Thank-You".

I appreciate this!!!!

RE: Windows Preview thumbnails are gone.

I've been have the very same problem. I created a new account and the
thumbnails work fine on the new account just as they did at one time on my
main account. I've tried all the fixes I could find but nothing worked.
